    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I don't know if its real or not - I didn't even look at it. Unless I know the seller, I make a point of NOT bidding on anything that is marked NO REFUNDS, AS ALL SALES ARE FINAL!!!! SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY NEED APPLY!!!!!

    Just my two cents worth....

    It's so sad it's almost funny. I have never seen or heard of any Inland part with the entire company logo stamped into the side of it. Stay away.

    I don't even have a sign in to bid on E-Bay, saw it and though I haven't got a load of experience with carbines, I'd never seen any flip sight with the makers trademark name on it either. Now where this dude found a stamp to do that?

    That is too funny! Using a trigger housing stamp on a repro sight. The pin is not even staked in!

    Well someone bid on it.
    Think it's possible that Inland trigger housing stamp could be a real one?
    I know the flip isn't real but what about the stamp used?
    First stamping I've seen like that.

    It was a private listing.
    Paid $45.00 for it which includes shipping.
    Better off sticking that in a slot machine!!

    JMHO,
